Lisa kept writing, but her attention already shifted back to the marks on Adrian’s arm which had only shown for a second before he dragged the sleeve back down, yet the image stayed with her — four raw crescents, red and angry, cut deep enough that they could not have been an accident. Not from work. Not from training. They looked like claw marks.

Self-inflicted, a quiet voice in her mind whispered.

The thought unsettled her so badly she nearly missed the next count he gave.

  • Bullied by my Alpha Mate    Chapter 18

    The walk back to the healer’s den felt longer than the whole mountain descent.Not because the distance had changed.Because now the entire camp had seen.Lisa could feel it on her skin as clearly as the cold evening air — the attention following them, the shock still rippling outward from the yard, the way conversations had stalled and then restarted in low, urgent murmurs the moment Adrian took her hand. No one called after them. No one was foolish enough for that.They didn’t need to be.Black Moon had already understood.Mia reached them first, furious in the efficient, deadly way only Mia could manage. She stopped directly in front of Adrian, took in his pale face, the tension in his jaw, the fact that he was upright when he absolutely should not have been, and said, “Have you completely abandoned self-preservation, or are you simply determined to test whether I meant what I said?”Adrian, to his credit, had the sense not to answer immediately.Raymond did it for him.“Bit of bot

    The kiss should not have happened in daylight.Not there.Not after the elders had just left.Not with the whole pack circling the truth like wolves around blood in snow.And yet it did.Adrian’s hand at her neck was warm and steady, his mouth slow on hers in a way that felt far more dangerous than the fevered hunger of the night before. This kiss was not desperation. It was not accident. It was not something either of them could pretend had only happened because of pain, exhaustion, or the mountain.It was a choice.That was what made it terrifying.Lisa felt it in the way the bond deepened under the contact, not flaring wildly this time but settling with a fierce, almost aching certainty. She kissed him back before caution could reclaim her, one hand catching lightly in the front of his shirt, and felt the answering shift in him — the controlled inhale, the restraint tightening and then softening under her mouth.He broke the kiss first.Only barely.His forehead rested against hers

    The next morning, the den felt different. Not because anything in it had changed. The fire had burned low in the hearth overnight. The shelves still smelled of dried herbs and pine resin. Mia was already awake somewhere in the back room, moving jars with the brisk, purposeful rhythm of someone who had decided not to comment on last night yet, which was somehow more threatening than if she had. Snow still lay thick outside the shutters, whitening the world into silence. No, what had changed was harder to name. It lived under Lisa’s skin. In the memory of Adrian’s mouth on hers. In the heat that still seemed to linger at her waist where his hand had rested. In the simple unbearable fact that the bond no longer felt only like conflict. It felt aware. Intimate in a way that had nothing to do with fate and everything to do with choice. She had slept badly because of it. Or hardly slept at all. Every time she drifted close, the memory came back — the low roughness of his voice, th

    After Mia’s interruption, the room never quite settled again. The healer’s den remained warm, the fire low and steady, the snow tapping softly now and then against the shutters, but something had changed in the air. Lisa could feel it in her own skin. In the way her wrist still burned where Adrian’s fingers had held it. In the way her breathing never seemed to return fully to normal. In the silence that now stretched between them — not empty, not awkward exactly, but thick with everything that had almost happened and had not. You almost kissed me. Yes. The simplicity of his answer had done more damage than denial ever could have. Mia returned, moved around the room, refreshed a poultice, muttered something about stubborn men and untreated egos, then finally announced that if no one planned to start dying in the next hour, she intended to sleep. Raymond , still on watch outside, was replaced sometime later by one of Richard’s guards. No one came in. No one asked more questions. A

    Night settled slowly over the healer’s den. By the time the last of the light had drained from the windows, the snow outside had turned the whole camp hushed and distant, as though Black Moon had been wrapped in wool. The usual sounds of evening came muted through the walls — a door shutting somewhere across the yard, the low bark of a dog, voices passing and fading into the storm-dark. Inside, the den glowed amber with lamplight and hearthfire, warm in a way that should have felt safe. It didn’t. Not with Adrian there. Not with the bond alive and restless between them, quieter now than it had been on the mountain but deeper somehow, settled under Lisa’s skin like an ache that shifted every time he moved. Mia had finally bullied Raymond into taking first watch outside the door after Richard’s guards had made their presence known at the edge of the yard. The Alpha himself had left at dusk, carrying silence behind him like a threat postponed. Mia had then declared that if Adrian re

    They reached the edge of camp just as the snow began to fall in earnest. What had started as a light drift in the mountains had thickened into a steady curtain of white, softening rooftops and fence lines, muting the usual noise of Black Moon beneath a hush that felt almost unnatural. Smoke curled from the chimneys in pale ribbons. Wolves moved quickly between buildings with heads bowed against the weather, cloaks pulled tight, baskets tucked under their arms. And every one of them, Lisa thought, would look up the moment they saw who was coming down the western trail. Adrian saw it too. She felt the shift in him before she saw it — the tightening through his shoulders, the instinctive attempt to pull some dignity back around himself despite the limp, the cloak, the blood, the simple undeniable fact of needing help. Raymond bore most of his weight, but Lisa still had one hand wrapped firmly around his forearm beneath the edge of the cloak, steadying him whenever the bad leg faltere
